Either wait for a 12 core BD, or Ivy Bridge is the best option, since it envolves long term
For mid-term, and maybe a little less expensive, along with OC potential, SR-2 with dual-Xeon 56XX. The 5690 sports an unlocked multi iirc.

!2 core Ivys or BD are probably to be worth more money, as they are developped to work in servers, and the boards and all of that related hardware is probably more costy than and SR-2 and related stuff. Not to mention that 12 core chips are expensive as hell, but then again, so does a Xeon 5690
Deeebs should have a better idea on this subject, as he works in the servers department

Well it'll be a long time before I can afford any of that stuff. I'll have to stick to the little league for now.

A build like those can cost about 3-4K dollars. A sweet SR-2 with 2 good Xeon chips may cost about the same
Add to this a powerfull GPU, PSU and 2 awesome 6GB RAM kits and you may end up paying about a 1k more on top
